Course Description

Join us to review how our understanding of feeding disorders, from a gastroenterologist’s perspective, has evolved away from gastroesophageal reflux towards motility abnormalities. We will review how new technology has changed our approach to these patients. Finally, we will review how we treat these patients using new evidence from the literature.
